Description

The Epiphone 1963 Firebird I Reissue Inspired By Gibson recreates one of the most distinctive electric guitar designs of the early 60s with impressive historical accuracy. Originally designed by legendary automotive stylist Ray Dietrich the Firebird stood apart from traditional guitar construction when it launched introducing a radical reverse body shape and Gibsons first-ever neck-through-body design. This reissue captures that same bold spirit while offering vintage specifications at a more accessible price point. Finished in Cherry and built with a nine-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through core and mahogany body wings the Firebird I delivers exceptional sustain and a resonant focused tone. Staying true to the stripped-back original it features a single bridge pickup and simple control layout making it a direct expressive instrument that rewards touch and dynamics. Supplied with an Inspired by Gibson Custom hardshell case this Firebird I Reissue is a faithful tribute to a true classic.
